3D animation

3D animation is everywhere, on TV, cinema, YouTube, gaming and even your phone. It is just as suitable for explaining the science behind prescription pharmaceuticals as it is for understanding virtual networks, or how clinical trials work. For new product explainers, mode of action videos or even TV adverts, 3D animation is an impactful, flexible and attractive means of communicating your message.

At BoxBear, we use the industry standards 3DSMax and Cinema4D to animate and render with high quality surfaces and lighting. We can take existing CAD models for your products to quickly create new assets, or model new items from scratch. Once modelled in the 3D environment, photorealistic “packshots” can be rendered easily for marketing assets as part of the animation process.

Small preview renders and shorter low-complexity animations are rendered in-house on our own Intel servers but final for larger projects final output we use the cloud-based Rebus Renderfarm for speed.

If you want a full photorealistic 3D product animation talk to one of our animation specialists about your requirements.
